I’ve always been fascinated with environments. When walking through new destinations, I’m the type of person who is constantly stopping along the way to notice small details – the light, the architecture, the colors, the smells… I take in everything all the time. And when I come home, I find ways to recreate those moments that I connected with. To remind myself of the places I’ve been and fallen in love with. A cafe in Rome. The markets in Marrakesh. The coastline of California. Some moments are closer to home, like the misty ferry boat crossings we take to Orcas Island every fall, or the warm familiarity of my parents kitchen. The spaces we’ve entered into in our lives – both natural and built – they impact us. They stay with us. They inform us.

And then we build a home with them. 

All these little pieces, they become a recipe for the feelings we want our own homes to evoke. The warm wood cabinetry that reminds you of that cafe. The calming wall color that looks like the misty sea air. What does each room in your home want to feel like? What story does it want to tell? 

This is the job of the Interior Stylist. Not just to make a space beautiful – but to make it a beautiful story. To create a home that incorporates your past while holding space for your future. After all … we’ll always have more stories to tell.
